I wasn't allowed to have sugary cereal when I was a kid. For the most part, I'm not mad about this, because when I finally tried many of the cereals as an adult<\/a>, I was mostly disappointed.

\r\n\r\nIn a press release, Hershey's says these Kisses are what happens \"when smooth white creme meets swirls of cinnamon sugar and graham-flavored cookie bits.\" I expect this candy to have all the creamy, crispy and cinnamon-sugary goodness of a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch with whole milk.\r\n\r\nThis means that Kisses have left milk chocolate behind and moved on to its next era, which appears to be white chocolate<\/a> and unexpected crossovers. (Yes, Butterbeer Kisses<\/a>, I'm talking about you.)\r\n
When do Cinnamon Toast Crunch Kisses drop?<\/h2>\r\nCinnamon Toast Crunch Kisses are available right this very second<\/em> in 9-ounce bags wherever Hershey's sells its \"share size\" bags of candy. No FOMO when you YOLO, and that includes cereal-flavored candy.\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
